And I'm back

Well that was good, nice 45k social pedal around the city.  A nice way to work up a good appetite for a couple of hours.  I'm going to use this website to keep track of what riding i've done, putting up ride distances, times, routes etc.  I'll also use it for goal setting, and keeping track of races I've done.  probably going to be most boring (i'm not that creative, you see), but who knows.  so with that in mind, i shall summarise my week so far.  

Sunday, Boonah Marathon.  65km.  My goal for this race was to try to break four hours, but i would have been happy with four and a half.  Managed to get it done in 3hrs58mins, so i was a happy camper.  

Monday, the rain eased a bit in the evening, so i decided that i needed a recovery ride.  Twenty very wet and windy kilometres later, i decided that was a silly idea and was very glad to be home.  still, the wet weather gear performed well, and the ride was quite enjoyable, except when the rain really came down.  

Tuesday night was good fun.  headed over to a mates place for a road ride.  He hasn't been into this game very long and has taken to it like a duck to water.  He wanted to head somewhere different to our usual loop, so we headed west for once.  a nice 37k loop taking in some slightly hillier terrain than usual.  Lots of fun.  

So thats my week so far.  20k monday, 37k tuesday, 45k wednesday.  along with the marathon on sunday, thats not a bad week for me so far.  lets see how it pans out...
